About

Hi there! I started blogging to share my shopping finds with girls who want to look good on a budget. Through the years, my blog has evolved into a fashion and beauty blog. Feeling frustrated with the lack of choices for brown bag lunches, I decided to chronicle my daily brown bag lunches in a new food blog.
Today I am a full time mom and wife and so I started the Recipe Box which chronicles our new lifestyle. You can still visit my other sites via the links on the side.
I used to work in the corporate world, handling marketing and corporate communications. From time to time, I still do some freelance writing work for clients in the US and UK.
I am also a freelance makeup artist and a jewelry designer.
I have worked with brands such as Clinique, Bobbi Brown, NARS, Estee Lauder, Revlon and Daiso to name a few. What's important to me is that I believe in the brand and their products.
I do accept samples so that I can share my thoughts with my readers but they should be something I can really use. If you are interested in a marketing partnership, drop me an email at lifebyladye@gmail.com.
Thanks for stopping by and happy reading!

Only a few days left and it’s Mother’s Day already! My, how time flies! Have you thought about what gift to give the moms in your life? If you haven’t, here are a few simple ideas.

This one is for my cousin. She’s a new mom. I already gave her a mommy survival kit before. She’s back to working in the office and so I know she will have a lot of use for this cup. I also added some Snickers and a strawberry coin purse to keep all those coins and bills she uses for her daily commute.

This is one of my son’s projects.

This set is for my driver’s sister. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to give her these though. She is also a working lady.

I put them in this paper bag that my son embellished with cutout flowers.

I am giving away two sets of these. These are for my son’s titas or aunts. They are also working in the corporate world.

We put them in these bags that my son embellished with stickers.

These are for my MIL and my SIL’s mom. These are pouches we bought in Malaysia. I filled them with chocolates.

Next, I gave my SIL something similar to this. It just has a different design.

I wasn’t able to take a photo because the courier was already waiting for me. I sent it to the province.

I DIY-ed this jewelry drawer. I’m pretty proud of it actually. I gave similar ones to my best friends last year and they loved it.

For my grandma, I’ll be giving this:

This is a necklace I made. I used Indian beads and crystals. The big beads are Murano beads that have a rose design.

I put it in this pouch in her favorite color.

Finally, for mom, I made this set of three bracelets. I used Indian beads for these as well.

I’ll be putting them in a similar pouch as above.

So, there you have it. I hope you found some inspiration for your own Mother’s Day gifting!
